There was heavy snow fall in Chicago today, temperature around 30F. I wanted to park the car in a spot where there's some snow so I turned off esp/traction control to get some grip. So I'm going back and forth slowly to get into the spot and out of the sudden big exclamation in the circle icon and "abs and esp currently unavailable" message (or something like that) pops up in the speedo screen. Also yellow triangle with exclamation lit up (left top side of speedo in the instrument cluster). WTF happened?

I know if you put the car on dyno mode it turns the ABS and ESP completely off, maybe that was the case

The issue fixed itself. I left the car alone overnight. In the morning outside temp got up to high 30s F. Most of the snow melted. I drove to work, I didn't even go more than a half block and message on the screen disappeared and everything went back to normal.
